Firefox 13 Released, Debuts Brand New Tab Page and Homepage

MrSeb writes "Mozilla has officially released Firefox 13. Unlike Firefox 12 (or 11, or 10, or indeed many of the recent Firefox versions), Firefox 13 is an important release with a handful of much-needed features that are long overdue. There's a new New Tab Page launcher, with your favorite and most-used websites, and a new default home page with one-click access to Bookmarks, Settings, Add-ons, etc. SPDY is on by default, too, which should help ameliorate the perceived speed difference between Chrome and Firefox. Finally, the developer tools (Page Inspector, Style Inspector, etc.) have been tweaked and updated!"

    I don't use browser tabs at all. Never have, never will. The OS already has a perfectly fine task-switching mechanism. I don't care what they do with tabs as long as my existing style keeps working and I can continue using the FF3/IE6 look and feel with classic full-size buttons and menus. And a real home page, none of this "new tab" garbage.

    False flag op by the US government. Planes were radio controlled, passengers were agents. Planes were landed and the agents got off the plane. Planes were put back in the air and flown into the buildings. Real civilians were killed here. Missile at the pentagon. There were no passengers aboard the plane that crashed in the middle of nowhere. That plane was aimed at the Pentagon, but crashed somehow. So they shot a missile at the Pentagon, confiscated all surveillance camera footage, planted wreckage that didn't even have an burn marks, and an engine that didn't go with the plane that supposedly crashed. And the hole left by the missile was not big enough for a plane. And the plane didn't even touch the grass or the power lines, and that is simply impossible based on the hole and the size of the plane.

    It was actually a stuttering clusterfuck of fail. Many people speculate that the buildings had been wired for demolition earlier, and that the planes weren't even enough to bring them down. Had the one plane not crashed, most of the evidence for the false flag op would not be there. Whatever the fuck it was they were doing, they just HAD to put a hole in the Pentagon. Maybe there was someone working on that side of the building that needed assassinated. I would have aborted the Pentagon operation after the plane crashed, because the attack on the towers was enough for the false flag op. The guy that decided to fire a missile at it was a fucking moron with a small dick. They all have small dicks in DC.

    Really, you've got to be a fucking tool if you believe the story that a plane hit the Pentagon. There is simply too much evidence that it was not a plane that hit the Pentagon. Believe the government's story, because you can trust everything they say.

    And if you were involved in it, you'd probably keep your mouth shut when your life and/or family's lives were threatened. And it wouldn't matter now, anyway; because no one would believe you.

    Some of the recordings of the passengers in the plane even had the child identifying themselves by first and last name to their own mothers. What kind of shitty acting is that? How did we find a passport of one of the supposed hijackers within the rubble? That's unlikely bullshit. Fucking tools. All of you.
